Trouble accessing folders in ART browser

Hello, I installed ART latest release 1.25.4 on my now old MacBook pro early 2015 running OSX 12.7.6, it works but but but I cannot access most folders in the browser… Actually and so far I can only access Pictures and Applications. When I click on the small triangle on the left of the said folder it disappears and I can’t access it. I tried too refresh all the access autorisations of the applications, but ART doesn’t ask me the autorisations of accessing files when I runend it for the first time. I granted ART access to all the harddrive, but without any success so far. Any help wlecomed :wink: When I go to Preferences to set the openning folder and I choose by instance Documents it says operation not permitted…

Hi,
Try running it from the terminal by executing /Applications/ART.app/Contents/MacOS/ART, there’s a chance it will ask for the right permissions. It seems that older versions of macOS have this issue if the application to run is a shell script.
I do have a workaround that was promising (at least it worked when tested on a VM on my machine) but it’s currently disabled because it was causing troubles to other people, and it’s not necessary anymore with more recent versions of macOS.

Hope this helps anyway

HAHAHAH many thanks it works ! I’ve been on this for two weeks was on the verge of dropping it. Thanks a lot !

Hi,
can you try and see if this woks without tricks?
https://github.com/artpixls/ART/releases/download/nightly/ART-379271d_macOS-13.7_x64-launcher.dmg

Unfortunately it cannot be open, it doesn’t work with my OSX version I think …

Ok…well it was worth trying. macOS 12 is not supported anymore, which means it’s hard for me to make builds for that version.
One thing that you might consider (not for art, in general) is to install Opencore legacy patcher and upgrade to the latest macOS. Fwiw I did it on a 2012 Mac mini and now it runs macOS 15.3 without issues…

HTH
